The Zithorian Chronicles

When you wish...

Following Sean's shameless, yet creative idea, I am adding a link to my Amazon Wish List at the top of my web site. Feel free to peruse at your leisure.

Food!

Just in case anybody out there still glances at my blog occasionally, you are all invited to come to our place in North County for a potluck on the 21st in honor of Kim's birthday. Only your presence and food required. No presents.

Oh, and it's not a surprise. Feel free to drop me an email or a comment if you think you might come or I'll more likely talk to you in person.

2005 in Review

Instead of a long entry regarding the New Year I think a few of my highlights from the past year are in order.

Became a licensed professional
Dropped out of school
Bought a Jeep (with a loan)
O'pa past away, God rest his soul
Ended four years of rooming with Sean, a sad day
Got Married
Went to Alaska
Bought a Honda (outright)
Broke my ankle
Re-enrolled in school
Visited many friends in OR

And that about sums up 2005 for me.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! So the X-rays haven't quite been put onto a digital format that looks very nice yet. That's why they haven't been posted, but I am recovering very nicely. Next week Tuesday I will be getting my last hard cast removed and a walking boot to replace it.

Now that I've said all that I guess I should say what happened. But that will take some pictures for explanation, so I'll do that at the same time I get the X-rays. Needless to say though, it was really dumb.

Writing on Stolen Time

So I've managed a real doosey as of late, unfortunately I can't give a complete account as of yet online, because I have to type individual letters using a mouse on a TV screen which, if you've never done that before, is not easy. At any rate, I have severely broken my leg and will be laid up for some time. X-Rays and explanation hopefully to follow in a few days.

Gallery Update

So there are a million things I could probably update about, but I'll let the most visible one win out. I have updated gallery from version 1.4 to version 2.?? and have put in a new album with almost 200 pictures from the cruise. I am also now loaning space to Sammot for her to post pictures from her semester in England and other pictures. So check it out!

English Dorms

SMOKING POLICY
You must not smoke in any part of the hall except:

Your own room

Someone else's room with their permission

The hall bar

Taken from here. Where Sammot is staying for a few months.

If only Cal Poly had been so enlightened while I was a dorm resident.

Mr. and Mrs. Myles Bostwick...

So the wedding went off without a hitch and was absolutely wonderful, I am currently on my honeymoon in a cruise ship destined for Alaska. We have a beautiful room overlooking the ocean and the land through our balcony window. It is wonderful.

Note, to those expecting the time of my arrival in Anchorage. I will not be arriving in Anchorage, a misconception of my own. Any other dates, you might want just comment.

That is all for now.

Obligatory, though sincere, well wishing

Happy 4th of July all two of my avid readers out there in blogland.

I made my first sale, have my first paycheck, and the wedding is a little over a week away. Things are good.

Oh and the bedroom at the new place is painted and walled properly. Looks wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Anyway, I will try and post some pictures before too long (from my cheesy lame camera phone).

Byee!

Interesting Quote

"like a moth to a flame, Democrats can't help themselves when it comes to denigrating and demonizing Christians."

-Rep. John N. Hostettler (R)

On first reading this quote, I said "hear, hear," but then I read some more articles and thought about it. Granted this quote encompasses my feelings, but it really is not beneficial to our country. Yes, Democrats and Republicans should have different views, that makes us stronger by looking at more than one side, but bickering back and forth does nothing but make us look pathetic. I'm not saying that either side is right for their views, I'm just saying both sides need to focus more on bettering the country and less on "he said, she said." Especially when it comes to nitpicking about the seperation of church and state.

On another note, I have three deals in escrow right now and I should be getting my first paycheck next week. Yay!

Well I was going to wait

I was going to wait until my house actually closed escrow, but Sammot wants to know. I have written up, submitted, counter-offered, and put into escrow my first deal. This however was not the deal that I was referring to previously in my below post. That deal I'm still working on. Since my first deal though I have written up about 4-5 offers and should have 3-4 things entering escrow here pretty soon. I also have something on the horizon that looks very, very promising. A gentleman is looking for a second time at a $1,575,000 home. For all you out there that I haven't told that would mean %2.5 of that price to me. Very nice.

The wedding plans are going along smoothly and it is coming up very fast.

It's my birthday today, happy birthday to me. Yay!

That's all for now. Bye.

Trucking Along

I am mere inches away from writing up my first offer. I am waiting on a Bank to get back to me about how much they want to make the offer for. That is it.

Wedding plans are going along well, the invitations should finally be completely out this week. Greatly looking forward to that being done. Also, we are making serious progress on the landscaping of the yard for the reception. Greatly looking forward to the wedding arriving for many reasons; won't have to plan for it anymore, get to see all of my friends, and most importantly, looking forward to making Kim my wife.

That's all for now, more after something actually happens.

Spam blockers!

So my blog is now running MT-Blacklist and Spam Lookup. Hopefully between these two programs I should be pretty much spam free. That and I don't update often enough for the webbots to pay me much attention anymore. Yay for updating!

Oh...that...looks...soooo....Good!

I have swiped this picture from Ellen's blog, as well as any information I have about it, but Oh my gosh! It looks soooo good.

Someday I will travel to this Clearfield, PA and conquer this "belly buster."

On another note, Sean is being a super nice guy and letting me use his phone while mine is incapacitated and I don't want to buy a new one. Awesome!

I have upgraded

I finally decided to upgrade my MoveableType install. I had been holding off because it says that it wouldn't allow more than 1 author and I had two, but apparently that isn't the case when you are upgrading from a previous version, which I might add, upgrading is very, very simple. I also managed to fix a few things that haven't been working properly, namely I now get emailed when there are new comments. So we'll see how that goes.
